Thanks, all of you.

Trippin, I've been on 6 mg of Risperidone before and barely felt it, so I wasn't expecting to be so sleepy on just 1 mg. I've been on a Seroquel/Risperidone cocktail since diagnosis (6 years), except for these past 5 months, where the Risperidone was replaced with Saphris but it didn't work. Since Abilify is activating, and the Risperidone dose is tiny compared to my usual, I was expecting to feel more energized, not less.

And it could also be the lithium withdrawal, I guess. The lithium started tapering down the same time the Abilify started tapering up.

I hope things settle down. The one thing I'm thankful for is the music writing, though. That is so important to me and I haven't been able to do it this prolifically for a long time.

Exam definitely wasn't the trigger, I couldn't care less about that exam. I just took my dose of Abilify so I guess I'll see what happens.
